Mongol soldiers, in Jami al-Tawarikh by Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, 1305–1306
The Jāmiʿ al-tawārīkh is a work of literature and history, produced by the Mongol Ilkhanate in Persia. The breadth of the work has caused it to be called "the first world history" and its lavish illustrations and calligraphy required the efforts of hundreds of scribes and artists.
